Working on an alien ecosystem. But I’ve got a question.
What’s the point of a herbivore?
Carnivores keep the herb population in check. Plants give oxygen and fule herbivore
But why does an ecosystem need herbivores?
if gone unchecked, plants can overgrow, especially invasive species like mint. It gets really bad with trees because they would get so thick and dense that nothing new could grow due to lack of sunlight.
